Herbal Tuesday: Adam and Eve Root

Welcome to Herbal Tuesdays, my lovelies! Today's spotlight herb is Adam and Eve Root (Orchis Spp). Pictured above, Adam and Eve root is said to help you find love, and to keep a lover faithful. Also, if given to a couple, it will promote continued happiness. Use it in mojo bags, or carry it alone in your pocket, but do not burn it or ingest it as it is poisonous. It's energy is feminine and it is ruled by Venus. It's element is water. True Adam and Eve root is now considered endangered and Orchis Spp is substituted in it's place.
To keep your lover true, one partner should carry the "Adam" root, and the other partner should carry the "Eve" root. The concept is that the roots will be drawn back to each other, thus keeping the lovers together. To attract a new love or a marriage proposal, carry both roots together in a red mojo back, and anoint the bag daily with any form of attraction oil. 
When purchasing herbs, always look for a reputable company. Places on Etsy can be great, because these people usually are very dedicated to their craft, and as such would never do something to detract from that, but always be careful, ask lots of questions if you have any doubts. Even on Etsy, there are swindlers that would sell you something different, just because they can.
